    Might as well put Ukraine, BLM, and Islam up there while you’re at it. Near as I can tell, the only clear difference between the two parties is on abortion, and even then the difference seems mostly rhetorical. One side is saying “states’ rights” gleefully while the other side is saying “states’ rights” mournfully. Other than that, you’d have trouble telling them apart if you just looked at policy.

              Agreed. Not an accelerationist but my take on it now is that whatever accelerates the internal destruction of the imperial cores is generally the opposite of acceleration- if anything, progressive development, in the broader global context- just like how Nazi Germany and any other such regime should have fallen sooner than later. With industrial genocide ongoing in front of the entire world’s eyes, with the west marching towards WW3 on multiple fronts- this is just how it is.

              If anything, Klanmala is probably the actual accelerationist (WW3) candidate anyways, and just as genocidal and fascist.

      also the intersex/non-binary duo flag i see there, seeing as antitrans bigotry rarely discriminates between such things. and that for many non-binary people that’s a trans experience.

      The Pakistan(?) flag as well. It wasn’t Trump that used the military to oust Imran Khan, it was Biden. Might even be argued (if they actually do pursue peace) that Ukraine should only be on the Democrat’s rail.

      Don’t forget #metoo. Once people started coming forward about Biden, Bill Clinton, and so on, the democrats torpedoed the whole thing. It practically vanished overnight as it became clear liberals don’t believe all women and turn into misogynistic sex pest apologists when someone on their team gets scratched.

    You cant appease fascists by sacrificing groups of people to them. “First they came for the communists” and all that.

    With the way the dems are swerving hard to the right, I could definitely see them becoming “lgb drop the t” terfs and the rhetoric currently used against Palestinians will be applied to trans people.

    2024: “yeah they’re doing a genocide in Palestine, but we gotta vote for them to protect trans people”

    2028/32: “yeah they’re persecuting trans people, but we gotta vote for them to protect gay people”

    Let’s not forget that Democrats threw BLM under the bus to appease the landlord class when it was no longer politically expedient to support protests. And how quickly they walked back every “defund the police” promise without even the slightest whiff of resistance.

      “Defund the police” pisses me off because it was already a milquetoast downgrade from the real slogan: abolish the police. That was “too radical” and yet the compromise was still disregarded as extreme.

    this is going to keep happening with democrats. all of the embarrassing trans libs who relentlessly criticise/harass people for taking a stand on palestine really think they’re safe, but they’re not. when the cost of supporting trans people starts to outweigh the benefit of more lucrative donors, we all know what’s going to happen. it happened with BLM and ultimately increasing funding for many police departments, it happened with forcing everyone back to work despite a pandemic. they won’t resist the pressure long and soon enough the cis queer libs will be arguing with the cis queer leftists that “we have to pick our battles or this will just hurt everyone else”

      Dems couldn’t even protect Roe v. Wade. If they won’t even look after the cishet PMC women and their rights, they sure as shit aren’t going to protect the rights of trans, non-binary, or intersex people.

      Well, we all know that if it happens outside the Continental US, it doesn’t actually count. And if it happens in a concentration camp very moral, legal, and necessary temporary holding facility home, it also doesn’t count. And if it happens under a Democrat, it also doesn’t count. It only counts when it helps the narrative of the Democratic party. They are the oldest political party, so they should get to make the rules.

    And even when they don’t do this, once elected, their pathological need to “move to the centre” and be non partisan means you end up with Republican policies anyway!

    Truly 4D chess.

    Did reddit just auto-translate the post for me? Why? It makes the post harder to read because the translation sucks, what the hell are they doing over there
